I've long said the big mistake is tying health insurance to employment is the problem (it isn't the only problem, but it is a big one) Yes. This is one of those frustrating areas where economists and experts across the political spectrum are in near-unanimous agreement, but anybody who tries to move the system in a sane direction gets attacked for "taking away your insurance". The ACA doubled down on employer mandates, when it should have used the exchanges as an opportunity to get people off employer-based plans. I'm against socialize health insurance, but what we have today is just as bad As I've often said, we've managed to combine the worst aspects of both markets and central planning with the benefits of neither.
